Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology
"For two-semester A&P."
Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology helps you succeed in the challenging A&P course with an easy-to-understand narrative, precise visuals, and steadfast accuracy. Every chapter of the Tenth Edition includes one- and two-page Spotlight Figures that seamlessly integrate text and visuals to guide you through complex topics and processes. These highly visual presentations incorporate, for select topics, the "visual approach" that the same author team created in their "Visual Anatomy & Physiology "book. New Clinical Cases open every chapter and get you thinking about the chapter content in the context of a personal compelling patient story. The Tenth Edition integrates book content with MasteringA&P(R), through expanded Coaching Activities, which personalize learning and coach you toward understanding and mastery of tough A&P topics.
This program presents a better learning experience. It provides: Personalized Learning with MasteringA&P: Engage with A&P through new Spotlight Figure Coaching Activities, and new Book-specific Clinical Case Activities, and a wide range of other question and activity types--all that are automatically graded. Text-art Integration: The popular one- and two-page Spotlight Figures and other figure types seamlessly integrate text and visuals to guide you through complex topics and processes. You study the Spotlight Figures in the book, and then your instructor can assign them in MasteringA&P. Story-based Clinical Content: Motivate yourself for your future careers with the new Clinical Cases.
Time-saving Navigation and Study Tools: Better navigate difficult A&P topics through both the book and MasteringA&P.

If you would like to purchase both the physical text and MasteringA&P search for ISBN-10: 0321908597/ISBN-13: 9780321908599.

used in the classroom to teach - overall a solid textbook with good examples. Felt like the nervous system chapters were written a league above the other chapters regarding the level of detail covered. Those same chapters were all repetitive and the info seemed a bit spread out. The info is there though, so overall, a good text.

It was for school!!! And boring, the only person who made the class interesting was the professor and that was when we still had zoom and flipping actual labs … kahoots was my favorite it made learning less tedious.

My daughter purchased this as a required text book for a class she was taking. I was impressed by the book and the interactive aspect. My daughter appreciated the text as other texts she had seen in the past confused her more than taught her.

The Hip bone connects to the knee bone. The Knee bone connects to the leg bone. Overall a fairly bombastic and complicated plot...

Read the first half for A&P I, a rather punishing elective.

This was actually a really well written textbook, and although it was a TON of work, I learned so much about the human body this year, that I will hopefully use for the rest of my life!

To be perfectly honest, I haven't actually opened the book this semester. But I did read it the first time around.
